I just found out from my boyfriends biopsy done 5 years ago that he has Micronodular Cirrhosis included with his Hep C. Can anyone give me insight to what this is, and if treatments will be effective.

Just google and you will find tons of sites to check.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
